When it rains news, it truly pours. Not only did we get news about another Sonic the Hedgehog movie and TV show, along with a Season 2 renewal for Halo from Paramount, but the Ninja Turtles are back. After first being revealed in July 2020, the Ninja Turtles movie from producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Gravity Falls writer Jeff Rowe will arrive in 2023.

While it's exciting that we finally know when we'll see the fearsome foursome lean, green, and back on the screen, that's only the beginning. According to Paramount, there will also be a series of "villain-driven" movies coming directly to Paramount+. What we don't know is if these will be live-action or animated entries in the long-running franchise--or if they'll even be connected to the movie Rogen, Goldberg, and Rowe are working on. But fingers are crossed for a proper Baxter Stockman origin story.

Theatrically, the 2023 movie will be the fourth shot at launching the franchise. The first film, released in 1990, launched a trilogy. Then, in 2014, producer Michael Bay unleashed two films on the world, neither of which were exactly beloved by fans.
